When a Pawn fires a Weapon it creates a projectile but is the projectile attached to the player or is it it's entirely own Object with the only way to see who spawned it is by checking it's Instigator attribute?

Is there any way to easily get the players spawned projectiles via something like Pawn -> Weapon -> ArrayOfProjectilesSpawnedFromDevice?

I've checked all the BeyondUnreal wiki pages but can't find anything pertaining to this. I believe it's possible with AllActors or BasedActors but I'd prefer to access it directly if it's possible.

See the SetOwner() function at wiki, and the UT3 translocator weapon/projectile sources.

Projectiles are not registered anywhere by default. If you iterate through all projectiles, you should be able to go back to their Instigator (pawn) or InstigatorController, though. Note that Owner isn't really a reliable way to check that.
